The wings might be messed up a little.
What do you guys think?

That is quite cool. Milotic's hair causes some problems with the red on the outline. The wing to our right looks awkward in that positiom. Otherwise, I really like it. Good work.

Too simple. No prats were recoloured for this were they? It is too noticable. I can see Lucario's blue legs there. Not good. Cubone's skull used as a sholder piece isn't a bad idea, but as the other is the same on mirrored, it doesn't look good.

Trogdor, I am not impressed. This doesn't look like a seprate entity but A Darkrai with legs and some skulls on its shoulders. It might have been acceptable if it lacked the legs and was thus a simple edit of Darkrai, but it wasn't was it? Shoddy spritework and a suprisingly low level of imagination.

Now this is more like it. Still a little basic, but more to your standards, yes? I am a little disapointed to see that you used Rotom as the head. I'm sure you could have done better. The nose is a little wrong too.

But it is not a bad sprite. This is the standard I expect from you fat, fat Trogdor. Definately an improvement over your last submission.
 
Well... There are tutorials out there on the web. I know one has been linked to in this tread before but I can't find it. Even with the search function. I expect someone else here has a link for you but if you don't want to wait, I shall give you some advice now.

Start by recolouring sprites. This will allow you to get a feel for them and how they are done. To recolour sprites use Paint. It is easy to use and works well. Also, it's free!

Here is a quick guide I scratched together. It is not nearly as good as others but it can get you started.

Panel 1: use these two tools to extract and arrange each of the pokemon's colours and arrange them as so. Take all shades from each colour you want to change and line them up in order of darkest to lightest.

Panel 2: chose colours to replace with. Pick colours of the same shade. Avoid yellow for now. It is hard to use. take the colours from the box about midway from the pure colour and grey. It makes the colours more natural on the finished sprite.

Panel 3: use pipette to select you colour to change and the one to change it to as so. Use the right mouse button to select the latter. Select the earser tool.

Panel 4: hold down the right mouse button and drag all over sprite.

Panel 5: repeate with all colours.

Panel 6: make finishing touches if nessary


Please note: that recolour was pretty poor by my standards. I am better than that! I was just in a rush.

a little better?

EDIT: how do i rotate the left skull better?
 
I like it, though all those spots make him look rather ill. :(

That's only me being nitpicky though...
